5.0 out of 5 stars Get it! This is a book you will use again and again., August 7, 2005

By	Lynette A. Alexander (Hayward, California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book, plus the three others in this series, are a super find for anyone doing bird or animal carving. It includes background info on each bird, instructions and most importantly, a pattern showing the side view, the top view and front view. Tips on making feet, how to texture and burn your bird are covered and suggestions for mounting are included. I am in a weekly woodcarving club and I have seen many of Lehman's projects completed and they looked really good. My husband won a blue ribbon at our county fair on the bald eagle made from patterns in this book. My only complaint, and it is trivial, is that I wish that information on painting the completed project had been included.
